Memory timings - Asus A8N-SLI D

Type_R · 5 Nov 2006 at 11:10

Hi guys

Just wanted some assitance in fine tuning my memory setup please.

At the moment I have 2x512mb Crucial Ballistix PC4000 running on my Asus board, but have purchased 2x1Gb Corsair PC3200 XMS3200C2PT CAS2 memory also.

Just wanted to know what memory timings I should be aiming for with all this memory on the board.

Thanks

EDIT: The Crucial seems more than happy at stock speed to run:

CAS: 2
TRCP: 2
TRP: 2
TRAS: 5
2T

Well I'm running the RAM you're buying in a DFI SLI-DR Expert at 2/5/3/2 currently, 2/5/2/2 wont go.

Is that 400 mhz and stock volts?

I've always needed higher than stock volts on the DFI boards to get any kind of decent timings out of any RAM, it's probably not indicative of what it will do in your Asus but 2.7 is what I've been using.

Ahh shouldnt be a problem as the crucial requires 2.80 V to achieve the timings above.
